The New Hampshire Division of Motor Vehicles plans to open branches Saturday in Concord, Manchester and Twin Mountain to accommodate resident requests for REAL ID-compliant driver’s licenses and non-driver identification cards.
Transactions Saturday, May 3, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., for appointments and walk-in services are limited to REAL ID services only. Appointments can be made online now through the DMV website.
Effective May 7, a federally compliant driver’s license or non-driver identification card, or a passport, will be required by the Transportation Security Administration for all travelers 18 years of age or older to board an airplane for domestic flights. A REAL ID-compliant license or identification will also be required to enter a secure federal facility, such as a military base or courthouse. Officials say while REAL ID is voluntary in New Hampshire, residents should consider it if they intend to continue using their driver’s license or non-driver identification card for these purposes.
To date, 64% of New Hampshire residents with a driver’s license or non-driver identification card have opted in to REAL ID.
